Potentiometer, Linear : Product Category

Linear motion potentiometers change mechanical linear moves into the corresponding electrical signals. Accurate, stout and reliable, they solve any problem linked to measuring and positioning control on any kind of industrial machine. Thanks to their small size, they can be profitably employed for those applications where limited dimensions are a critical factor.

The transducer consists of a rotary potentiometer operated by means of a wire-reel mechanism; the wire is out of stainless steel covered with nylon. The potentiometer provides an analogue signal proportional to the linear displacement of the wire. The inside spring controls the return of the wire to the starting position.
